Starting in 2009, some of our faculty and students, snowed in the nation's capital or stranded in Europe due to an Icelandic volcano, listened to class recordings and joined web conferencing lectures. In business and in academic continuity, conventional wisdom is that periodic training and awareness helps people prepare for emergencies. Visit our Academic Continuity page at http://www.law.georgetown.edu/ist/continuity.cfm to learn more about web conferencing and class recording services available to Law Center community members.
